Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman has backed Virat Kohli and Co to bounce back against Australia after a humiliating defeat in Pune.

Australia finished Day 2 at 143/4 and have a lead of 298 runs against India, who were bowled out for 105 in the first innings.

Mitchell Starc powers Australia to 256/9 after being reduced to 205/9 on Day 1 of the opening India-Australia Test.

Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly and veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh have both forecast a clean sweep for India in 4-match Test series.
